I'm going to try to get those 12 news channels, maybe they are terrestrial...

Edit. Forget it... the listings are just the channel name.

if someone wants to add the missing channels to the UK.chl list go at it (right now it downloads the whole UK lineup, ignoring the uk.chl file). These channels don't require renaming. then we can only pull the channels we need and make the xml file smaller. The smaller it is, the faster it will load when pulling from the URL.

Here are the updated UK and US files. Still missing a few that are probably in the DTV list. Some of the UK's have no current listings on them (BoxNation, NHK World). Someone, please check and post what are missing in the English language channels, and maybe check for accuracy. SKY Premiere was a pain to figure out...duplicate names in the xmltv required exclusions in the UK.chl. I moved RT English to match RT International.

Thanks Dara. Updated the git and the online xmltv file. Purge your EPG and PVR Data. I show Data for 160 Channels now.

Didnt you say you fund a source for the missing news channels, but it only showed the channel names. for the data. we should throw them in there anyways.

I am looking to make a dummy.xml file and fill with all the missing channels to show the channel name in the guide data for each channel. if anyone wants to give that a shot and can get a few channels working I can generate the rest of the list

Actually, we would have to access 7 different cable systems for it. It may take a while.

Here is one for DTV, to pick up the Ovation, two movie channels that aren't on Dish, MSG and BBC World, which I don't think is a news channel. It uses Directv for nyc (10001).

If anyone wants to take on the Spanish language named channels, there are MX sources for that, both Satellite and Cable. I wish we knew what the actual source for those channels already hosted by NFPS, but its a bit hard to find a direct match. My guess is that they use Dish, Sky MX and various cable systems near them, but they may be using south american sources, which would be hard to find. A fluent spanish speaker would be best for this, I think.

sorry guys I changed the data to UTC to avoid further confusion. Set your offset to your timezone now (+1 to compensate to Daylight savings. So, pacific = -7)

I'm a little confused now, if using
